A recent Emerson poll shows Trump behind Clinton by only one point in Virginia.

Trump’s Virginia chairman Corey Stewart previously told Breitbart News that the Republican nominee should focus on military issues in the swing state.

“Virginia voters are very concerned by the hollowing out of jobs in the coal industry, of the decline of America’s military,” Stewart explained. “There are over 800,000 veterans in Virginia. They’re very concerned about the VA and the lack of adequate healthcare for veterans.”

During the Tuesday town hall, Trump also blamed the start of ISIS and its expansion on bad leadership.

“We’re in a different world today than we were 20 years ago,” he added. “The weaponry is so powerful today.”

“This is a whole different war,” Trump stressed, pointing to cyber security issues and the internet. “We have to beat them over there.”
